About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Have fun, meet people, enjoy and participate in music.

ABOUT ME

I live for music. All kinds, especially thrashy metal and bebop jazz. My career allows me see live music almost every night of the week. I play guitar. I have a band. We are called White Noise. I have another band called Giddy-Up! I love to play.

I like to meet new people, travel, and gain different perspectives. I never shy away from philosophical debate.

Politically I am very left. I do not believe in god.

PHILOSOPHY

Beethoven's 6th. Nuff said.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am happy to let people stay at my house, it's all about building up a worldwide community of like minded individuals. I am happy to do my part.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Between the ages of 18-23 I spent alot of time touring with my now defunct rock band. I have slept on floors or couches in every major Canadian city. One time an unfortunate van problem forced us to sleep in a public park in downtown Toronto, a truly harrowing experience.

On the flip side, I've had musicians from all over Canada and the States crash on my floor/ couch while they are in town for gigs. It's only right.
